. Though it would have worked better if I hadn't tyoped worth.Though on the other hand I still have some Dutch guilders which are not legal tender anymore, but whose metal content is worth more than their face value.

I used to have French Francs of some age that were made out of aluminium. They had a really weird light feel to them (and were apparently only ever worth much as curiosities due to currency revaluations after that time). I've no idea where I put them…

@dkf A few of those coins (mostly minted during the war, I think) do have quite the collector's value nowadays, but since their value comes from their sparsity, it's unlikely that this is what you have. More likely they are post-war coins, which were minted in such a number that they have little collector's value.
They were minted until 1959 IIRC, and as you say had almost no value up to that date since that's when a massive devaluation happened that divided the value of the Franc by 100 to account for inflation, effectively turning Francs into centimes.
For a time people used "ancien Franc" vs. "nouveau Franc" to distinguish them, and then just "ancien Franc" vs. "Franc". For decades some people (mostly elderly) still used "ancien Franc" when talking about some amounts, usually large ones like cars or houses (probably because they are items that you don't purchase often, and thus for many the last time they had to do so was before 1959?), which made some discussions very confusing. "How many millions did he pay for his house? Wait, is that Francs or ancien Francs?"
That habit took long enough to die that when France switched to the Euro (2002), it was still possible to make jokes about "anciens Euros" and be understood by most adults.
TIL "ancien Franc" coins were still legal tender for as long as the Franc was (i.e. until replaced by the Euro), with actual values of 1 cent instead of 1 Franc.

What's terrible is that you'd be in the millions for so many houses in the UK now.

Similar thing happened in Poland, except the denomination happened in 1995 and was by a factor 10,000. And since the hyperinflated currency was a relatively new concept too, talking in "old złoty" didn't stick around for long. But it did give birth to a few jokes, for example:
Have you heard of the recent earthquake? They say 100 people have died.
100!? Oh my God! In old it would be a million!

@Gąska The only Dutch weirdness with money I know is a peculiar unit of money called the 'tonne'. This is a metric tonne, or one million grams, which equates to 100k (silver) guilders of 10 grams each. The term is still used nowadays, meaning 100k euros instead. It most commonly refers to house prices or government spending.

@PleegWat There is something vaguely similar in French, where a "brick" (brique in French) is used colloquially to refer to... a large amount of money.
The problem is in the definition of the "brick," as it's a purely colloquial unit and not a real one. In old Francs, it was originally mostly used to mean 1 million, so when changing to "new" Francs that became 10k Francs (1/100 of a million). Except that sometimes it still meant a million, but mostly not. When we switched to Euros, the "brick" became either 10k Euros, or was "converted" (and rounded) and became 1000 Euros. So a "brick" nowadays can mean 1000, 10k or a million.
Basically, there is so much confusion that it's only ever really used to mean "a lot of money" without being too accurate. So it's less and less used, overall.

@remi in Poland we use the word bańka (literally means a jug, bottle, bubble). I have no idea what's the origin or usage history, but apparently it means either a hundred złotys or a million złotys (although personally I only heard it as the latter.)
There's also koło (a circle) which unambiguously means a thousand.

In Swedish there is lakan, bedsheet, meaning 1000, and långsjal, long shawl, meaning 10000. And a bunch of others.

There's also patyk (stick) for thousand. But I haven't heard it outside of tv shows for a long time.

Of course, I think pre-Euro every Dutch denomination had its own nickname. Particularly for paper money, these would be based on the design on (a previous version of) the bill. I don't think a single one of those survived though.

Yikes! A thousand bucks for a monkey? Not even if she fixed her teeth.

@Gąska I guess most, or all, languages have various slangs for money, and usually guessing the origin is, well, just guessing. In addition to the brique, French uses (or used to, most of them aren't much used nowadays) the plaque, the baton, the patate, all supposedly worth a million (?) of old Francs and thus either a million or 10k new Francs, and thus either a million, 10k or 1k Euros... There are many others, and different ones in different dialects (there's one that's widely used in West Africa but I can't remember it).
The brique has a fairly simple origin (allegedly), as a stack of bank notes has a shape similar to a physical brick. The plaque is maybe related to casino chips. The other ones... no idea.

the patate
Obviously a richly-deserved joke at the expense of the Irish.
